Clipboard Data Theft through internet

1. A little known secret about Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser is the long-standing feature that lets Web sites silently read data stored in the Windows "clipboard" -- the storage space that serves as a semi-temporary repository for any text the user has recently cut-and-pasted or copied in virtually any Windows program. Are you still using IE 6 and want to see how the clipboard feature works?
2. Visit this harmless proof-of-concept site => www.scriptingmagic.com/Topics/IE%20Specific/Clipboard%20Plunder .with IE 6 after you use a Windows program to copy and paste some text or numbers (even though it's a harmless example page, maybe it's best not to copy that Quicken data you were just entering).
3. As the site explains, data copied to the Windows clipboard stays there until it is replaced by more cut-and-pasted data, and/or when you log out of your machine or turn it off. It's probably worth mentioning that alternative Web browsers such as Firefox and Opera do not allow Windows clipboard data-stealing
